... like many people I was a bit sad to hear the news that the Sketchy Thursday challenges were going to stop. I never played along as much as I would have liked, but their sketches were always easy to use and adapt. I couldn't not take part in their last challenge.

... first week proper and I'm on track with my goals. It was completely appropriate to play along with this challenge on Sarah's Card - scrap your 2012 creative intentions.A card sketch challenge for a Scrapbook Circle (may have over done it with the red!)

This is the jelly roll I've chosen - the fabrics are so lovely in it.3. Crochet a blanket. I actually started this before Christmas but progress is quite slow - I don't think I should have tried to make it so wide. Am pleased with how it's going though and it should be ready for next Winter!

4. Weekly photo challenge with my sister as previous post.

5. Take 12 "Take 12 photos on the 12th of each month. Scrapbook 144 memorable moments this year." I try to stay away from these sorts of challenges but I've found myself being drawn in!!! I enjoyed 'Scrap Your Day' that I completed nearly 3 years ago, so it'll be good to have something as comparison.

6. To make more She Art (and mixed media in general) - I've promised some for Mia's bedroom.

... well it looks like I took an unplanned blog break as seems to happen from time to time.

I had a good Xmas and New Year, the girls were uber excited as expected. It seems like an age ago now. Here's a few presents that I managed to make for Christmas, mainly teacher's presents. I had planned to make much more but I've been doing some supply work for easyfundraising which took any spare time I had (although some much welcome money was earnt!)

I'm hoping to get back to crafting soon, the house still needs some order to be restored to it first.

I've not made any crafting resolutions, the only plans I have is a photography challenge with my sister. After getting a new camera for Xmas she mentioned that she wanted to take more photos, so we've set up a weekly challenge - I'll set it one week and then she'll do the next one. Will be interesting to compare a teenager's photos to a 40-somethings!
